Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

On the 14th September we will be taking part in the Para's 10 mile run, with a 35lb bergen (rucksack) on our back and feet firmly in military boots.

This race is used for selecting the weak from unique on Parachute pre-selection, so isn't for the faint hearted !

We will run the race in aid of Ollie's Fund for Canine Epilepsy Research, hoping to raise much needed funding for the research team at the Animal Health Trust, Newmarket, UK. All funds raised from your sponsorship will be used purely for epilepsy research in the hope that eventually the genes causing this disease can be isolated, and eventually a cure can be found for this cruel and life-changing disease which is affecting many, many dogs both here in the UK, and worldwide.

You can read all about Ollie's fight against the disease, and about the fund in place with the Animal Health Trust here :

Here's a snapshot of what we are up against !

(Or more details here : http://www.paras10.com/ )

"Test yourself against one of world's toughest challenges. The Parachute Regiment's, ten mile 'P' Company selection course. You'll be competing against the fittest and most resilient soldiers in the British Army as well as some of the best endurance racers in the business. This extreme endurance race is not for the faint hearted, and for those seeking an even tougher test there is the 'P' Company Challenge, negotiating the same route carrying a bergen/rucksack (weighing 35lb) and wearing army style boots. The 'P' Company Challenge can be completed individually or as a team in The Para's 10 Team Challenge. No matter how good you think you are, you'll be up against the clock over a grueling course which will test you both mentally and physically.
Push yourself to your limits over a course that countless soldiers aspiring to achieve their maroon beret have tried and failed."
